TLDR
In 1928, Indian physicist C V Raman (1888-1970) discovered the Raman effect as mentioned in this paper which was named after him virtually simultaneously with the Russian physicists G S Landsberg and L I Mandelstam.
Abstract
In 1928 the Indian physicist C V Raman (1888-1970) discovered the effect named after him virtually simultaneously with the Russian physicists G S Landsberg (1890-1957) and L I Mandelstam (1879-1944) I first provide a biographical sketch of Raman through his years in Calcutta (1907-1932) and Bangalore (after 1932) I then discuss his scientific work in acoustics, astronomy, and optics up to 1928, including his views on Albert Einstein's light-quantum hypothesis and on Arthur Holly Compton's discovery of the Compton effect, with particular reference to Compton's debate on it with William Duane in Toronto in 1924, which Raman witnessed I then examine Raman's discovery of the Raman effect and its reception among physicists Finally, I suggest reasons why Landsberg and Mandelstam did not share the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1930 with Raman

Label-free methods of reporting biomolecular interactions by optical biosensors

TL;DR: This optical-based biosensing permits real-time monitoring, obviating the use of hazardous labeling molecules such as radioactive tags, and provides an alternative way as a label-free procedure for monitoring biomolecular interactions.

A New Type of Secondary Radiation

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in every case in which light is scattered by the molecules in dust-free liquids or gases, the diffuse radiation of the ordinary kind, having the same wave-length as the incident beam, is accompanied by a modified scattered radiation of degraded frequency.

A Quantum Theory of the Scattering of X-rays by Light Elements

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that when an X-ray quantum is scattered it spends all of its energy and momentum upon some particular electron, which in turn scatters the ray in some definite direction.
